The Tories created the NHS crisis deliberately and their apologies mean nothing
The following is a compilation of social media posts about the current NHS winter crisis, that makes a compelling argument that the Conservatives have deliberately caused the service problems, but are deceiving the public about it with the aid of a compliant media.
It is persuasive – and certainly one that people should remember while watching Andrew Marr’s interview with Theresa May, set to take place today (January 7).
There’s a crisis in our NHS and everyone knows it – except the Tories.

They're killing your NHS. They are lying about it. They have no mandate. They are being aided by their media friends GET ANGRY. VERY ANGRY.

If the Tory party had listened to #NHS staff instead of Andrew Lansley, they could have invested £4bn more into NHS 5 years ago. That would have made a big difference to patient care & safety, which is now at risk #NHSCrisis
